Fool's Gold 2008-02-18 11:49:00 Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Kate Hudson, Donald Sutherland Direction: Andy Tennant. Rating: 3/10By Brian Lowry, Variety.comThe lure of Matthew McConaughey shirtless for extended stretches doubtless has some marketing value, but after that, "Fool's Gold" offers small compensation -- a listless romantic comedy that, almost out of desperation, turns a little more violent than necessary near the end. Treasure hunting has certainly worked for the "National Treasure" franchise, and an earlier McConaughey-Kate Hudson pairing enjoyed some success. Still, after however many doubloons can be hauled up from the utterly review-proof, it's hard to envision Warner Bros. separating too many fools from their money.Reuniting the stars of "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" in a more adventurous setting su
Diary of the Dead 2008-02-18 11:43:00 Cast: Michele Morgan, Shawn Roberts, Joshua Close Direction: George A. Romero. Rating: 7/10By Eddie Cockrell, Variety.comScaling back the broad sweep of the previous horror opus "Land of the Dead" and largely jettisoning the increasingly comedic possibilities of the concept in favor of pointed, impassioned social criticism and close-in genre thrills, gore's godfather audaciously and successfully reboots his incalculably influential zombie franchise as a lean, mean teen-survival machine in "George A. Romero's Diary
of the Dead." This gripping, intimate genre triumph represents a not-insurmountable marketing challenge in the wake of the larger canvas of "Land," with emphasis on college-age protagonists and their tech wizardry sure to inject the fan base with copious new blood.The fifth
Definitely, Maybe 2008-02-18 11:30:00 Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Abigail Breslin, Derek Luke, Isla Fisher, Elizabeth Banks, Rachel Weisz, Kevin Kline Direction: Adam Brooks. Rating: 8/10By Dennis Harvey, Variety.comA pleasingly nonformulaic romantic seriocomedy, "Definitely, Maybe
" has charm and some depth, even if it's ultimately more a three-base hit than a home run. The tale of a divorcing father relating his complicated romantic history to an inquisitive daughter will click with viewers for its refreshing indifference to current romantic-comedy fashions, being neither Judd Apatow-esque raunchy nor indie-edgy. With enough word-of-mouth momentum, the potential sleeper could be the breakout film for Ryan Reynolds, who seems on the verge of major stardom. That's a maybe, but writer-helmer Adam Brooks' ingratiating pic will defin
The Spiderwick Chronicles 2008-02-18 11:24:00 Cast: Freddie Highmore, Sarah Bolger, David Strathairn, Mary-Louise Parker, Nick Nolte, Martin Short Direction: Mark Waters. Rating: 9/10By Justin Chang, Variety.comSpinning five short books into one sleek yarn, "The Spiderwick Chronicles" is a brisk, fine-tuned adaptation of Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black's best-selling children's series. The tale of three young siblings -- and the goblins, fairies, griffins and ogres they find lurking in their backyard -- is a work of both modest enchantment and enchanting modesty, grounded in a classically Spielbergian realm where childlike wonderment crosses paths with the tough realities of young adulthood. With careful studio nurturing, this engaging, gratifyingly non-epic adventure should snag a midrange box office after its Feb. 14 release, bene

I understand that people think I’m a ditzy moron.” On how a boyfriend couldn’t compete with her fans: I’ve always had really low self-esteem, and I still do. What’s weird about that is being onstage, and the love that you get, and the adoration that you feel from your real fans. It’s hard for a partner to compete – just imagine.” On her image: She considers herself a “freaking prude,” and sees herself as “eternally 12.” Three assistants?!?

Britney Spears has been ordered to pay Kevin Federline’s legal bills in their ongoing child custody case 2008-03-18 18:37:00 Spears

Spears has been ordered to pay $375,000 of KevinFederline
’s legal
bills in their ongoing childcustody
case. The payment to Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, is for four months work on the couple's ongoing custody battle, but less than Spears' current payments of $500,000. The singer's lawyer, Stacy Phillips, argued in court last week that Kaplan had been over-charging Spears and requested contributions from Federline. According to Kaplan, his fees are 'far under market for the package' saying that 'this is not a simple custody case.' And Los Angeles Court Commissioner Scott Gordon called it “reasonable” to make Spears pay so much because “the actions of [Spears] caused the great majority of litigation.” Read more:Britney Spears
